Hi all,

I have a JSF application using Spring/Hibernate that runs on OAS/OC4J. Here is the mixture of technologies:

Apache MyFaces 1.1.5
Tomahawk 1.1.6
Richfaces 3.1.6.GA
Spring 2.5.5
Hibernate 3.2.1
OC4J 10.1.3.1
Facelets 1.1.14

I am trying to annotate one of my JSF managed beans for registration on the OC4J JMX MBean server, using Spring as the glue. The application starts up, and I see output from Spring saying 'applicationController' has been registered with the MBean server. However, when I try to view the MBean in the OC4J Admin Console, or view all the MBeans for the application, I see nothing, or I get an InvocationTargetException with no stack trace in the log output.

WARNING Caught exception: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.

Here is an excerpt of my Spring applicationContext.xml:
Code:
	<bean id="nterMBeanFactory" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.MBeanServerFactoryBean">
		<property name="defaultDomain" value="nternet"/>
	</bean>
	<bean id="nterMBeanExporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporter">
		<property name="server" ref="nterMBeanFactory"/>
		<property name="autodetect" value="true"/>
	        <property name="assembler" ref="assembler"/>
	        <property name="namingStrategy" ref="namingStrategy"/>
	</bean>
	<bean id="annotationJmxAttributeSource"
		class="org.springframework.jmx.export.annotation.AnnotationJmxAttributeSource"/>
	<bean id="namingStrategy"
          class="org.springframework.jmx.export.naming.MetadataNamingStrategy">
            <property name="attributeSource" ref="annotationJmxAttributeSource"/>
    </bean>
	<bean id="assembler" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.assembler.MetadataMBeanInfoAssembler">
	    <property name="attributeSource" ref="annotationJmxAttributeSource"/>
	</bean>
Here is an example of the annotations in my managed bean class:

Code:
&#64;ManagedResource(objectName="bean:name=ApplicationController", description="Application-Scope JSF Managed Bean")
public class ApplicationController extends BaseController implements IInternetContentConstants {
    // ************************************************************************************************
    // JSF Action methods
    // ************************************************************************************************
    &#64;ManagedOperation(description="Refresh the Menu Structure")
    public String refreshWebAppMenu() {
        initializeMenuListFromFacade();
        return "";
    }

    &#64;ManagedOperation(description="Refresh the Store Locations Information")
    public String refreshLocationList() {
        initializeLocations();
        return "";
    }

...
}
I am unable to determine what the source of the error is, but I know OC4J is basically a piece of crap and doesn't play nice with lots of technology tools. I consider it practically a miracle I was able to get this application to run reliably in the first place, but want to get some JMX capabilities in there for obvious reasons.

Anyone have any insight?
